I'm thinking about just driving US287 to Choteau MT. Then up through Banff. Wave if you see me.
Good idea. It will take you from southeast Texas to a few miles east of Rocky Mountain National Park, right through Grand Teton and Yellowstone NPs, and to the East Glacier entrance to Glacier NP.
I have been on the Denver to Ft. Worth segment more times than I can count! And I've been on every mile of the rest of it, just not all in one trip. The southern half is pretty desolate (eastern Colorado, Oklahoma Panhandle, southern Wyoming), some is 4-lane (Texas), and some is spectacular (from Lander, WY, north). So, I guess you have to "go through hell to get to heaven."
